The Wolfgangsee Promenade in St. Gilgen runs along the western shore of the Wolfgangsee, with views across the clear alpine lake to the Schafberg summit (1,783 m). Free and accessible year-round. St. Gilgen is 30 km east of Salzburg by Bus 150 (45 minutes); boats connect to St. Wolfgang on the far shore, where the Schafberg rack railway ascends to one of the best viewpoints in the Salzkammergut. Mozart’s mother was born in St. Gilgen; the Mozarthaus on the main square documents the family connection.
